SHIRT ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 13,1920.

Application filed June 7, 1919. Serial No. 302,459.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD T. \VHITER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shirt Attachments, of which the following is a specification. 1

This invention relates to an attachment for shirts and has for its primary object to provide a device by means of which a shirt will be prevented from bulging under the chin of the wearer.

An object of the invention is to provide a simple device for holding a shirt front fiat upon the chest of the wearer.

With these and other objects in view the invention will be better understood from the following detailed description taken 1n connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:

Figure l is a detailed view showing the device connected to one edge portion of the front of a shirt.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation thereof.

Fig. 3 is an end elevation.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the many forms in which my invention may be constructed, the numeral 1 designates a flexible strip which may be made of any suitable material. It is of course to be understood that the flexibility of the strip may be varied at will depending upon what is the most practical when in use. This strip 1 may be directly connected to the edge portion of a shirt in any suitable manner but in the drawing I have shown spring clips 2 fastened to the strip so that the same may be detachably clamped to theedge of the shirt as clearly shown in V Fig. 1.

It is of course to be understood that the.

mannerpf constructing the strip 1 and its assoc ation with the clips 2 may be changed at will as it is my intention to protect in this application the use of a stiffening element associated with the front portion of a shirt so as to prevent bulging thereof.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing should be apparent that. I provide a dev1ce of simple inexpensive construction that may be quickly arranged in place and when in position it is invisible.

Having described my invention, what I claim is:

An attachment adapted for use with an open front shirt, including a stiffening strip, and substantially U-shaped clipsv having their outer arms secured to the outer face of the strip and their inner arms extending across the inner face of'said strip, said clips co-acting with the strip for attaching the same to the edge portion. of the inner lap of the shirt bosom, the bight portions of the clips being positioned closely adjacent to the inner edge of the strip and the strip bemg relatively narrow whereby projections are avoided and the strip'and the clips concealed by the outer flap of the shirt bosom. In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EDWARD T. WHITER.
